A condition known as Paralysis could be a likely cause for this insensitivity of electrical signals to motor neurons.

What do you mean by Motor neurons?

Motor neurons may be defined as nerve cell that transmits the electrical impulse from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland.

During paralysis, the brain sends normal electrical signals to motor neurons, but the muscles are not moving in response. This loss of muscle function in any part of the patient's body creates an imbalance in the muscle movement as per required functions.

Therefore, it is well described above.
